Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sustainability is a topic of pivotal importance today due to various environmental problems such as global warming, increasing pollution, and depletion of nonrenewable natural resources. This research-oriented book, Sustainability in Energy and Environment: Engineered Materials and Smart Computational Techniques, covers integrated sustainable designs for energy and environmental engineering as well as computer science. In this new title, the key components of energy are described, and the main elements of sustainability are introduced with an emphasis on sustainable development. The book also covers smart computational technologies in the domain of energy and environmental systems engineering. The book is broadly divided into three themes: energy, environment, and sustainable development. In the first section of this book, components of energy sustainability are described and examined with various other factors. Several case studies on enhancing energy sustainability and sustainable development are presented in section two. This volume will prove to be a valuable reference for professionals as well as research students interested in the fields of energy, environment, and sustainable development.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study aimed to develop prediction models for friction loss and laboratory compaction of asphalt mixtures. In addition, the study evaluated the effect of compaction level and compaction method on skid resistance and the internal structure of asphalt mixtures. The predictive model for friction loss was developed based on parameters that describe aggregate texture and angularity before and after polishing, aggregate gradation, and polishing cycles in the laboratory. Squared-shape slabs of asphalt mixtures were prepared in the laboratory using a linear kneading compactor and polished using a wheel-polishing device. The frictional characteristics were measured after different intervals of polishing cycles. Mixtures with coarser aggregate gradation were found to have better skid resistance than those with fine aggregate gradation. The friction loss model was found to correlate very well with the experimental measurements. The predictive model for laboratory compaction of asphalt mixtures was developed based on parameters that describe aggregate shape characteristics, aggregate gradation, binder content, and binder properties at compaction temperatures. The researchers executed intensive laboratory experiments to quantify the effect of these parameters on the compaction of asphalt mixture in the laboratory. Two models that describe slope and intercept of the laboratory compaction curves of asphalt mixtures were developed. These models showed strong correlations between the predicted values and the measured ones. These models provide essential inputs to quantify the compaction effort needed to compact asphalt mixtures. In the last phase of this study, the researchers evaluated the effect of compaction level and compaction method on skid resistance and internal structure of asphalt pavements. The vibratory roller was found to yield a smoother surface than the static roller. In addition, the results confirmed that the vibratory roller was more effective in reducing the air voids than the static roller. Moreover, the test sections compacted using the vibratory roller had more uniform air void distribution compared to the test sections compacted using the static roller.
